Chess problems

In the thousand-year history of chess problem composing, task and record problems occupy a special place. They define the limits within which the problem composer's artistry is exercised. When Chess Problems: Tasks and Records was first published in 1995, it was at once hailed as a standard work. This revised and updated edition includes more than 850 problems. An introduction to give newcomers their bearings is followed by a systematic treatment of records ranging from the simplest type of problem to the wider fields of longer and less orthodox problems.
